Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Teachers' Association of Northern California
The Herbartian distinction that I have thus amplified is, you will notice, of primary importance in education. No instruction is in the least successful that does not in some measure convert interest into desire. The pupil must cease to be merely pleased and must come to want. The active domination of the teacher must gradually disappear, and in its place must be substituted, first, supervision, then mere cooperation, and the pupil must grow more and more absorbed and master of himself until at last he emerges entirely from the condition of tutelage upon the platform of mature independence in real life.
